為非處方止痛片不會上癮？

我身邊真實的例子。

第一，鄰居老人，年輕時受傷，然後布洛芬就停不下來了，他太太說每天吃“一把”。

第二，我兒子的同學（一流名校）每天三十多片非處方止痛片，不吃就無法上課。

也許有人會咬文嚼字區別上癮和藥物依賴，但我覺得沒什麽區別。

英文這樣說：

An individual may begin taking Ibuprofen in order to manage mild to moderate physical pain. This may lead to the risk of developing a tolerance or dependency on the drug due to feeling as though they cannot function normally without the Ibuprofen.

For some people, Ibuprofen may be a way of “numbing” not only physical pain, but emotional pain as well.

For men and women who have suffered a traumatic event or have unresolved emotional issues, their dependency on Ibuprofen may result out of a psychological need to anesthetize pain.
